The psychoanalytic theory was popularized by Sigmund Freud (1856-1939).

Psychoanalytic Theory of Personality How we develop and behave results from impulses or needs that are unknown to us (hidden forces).

A trained professional can see the origin of a persons psychological problems by analyzing their thoughts, feelings, and history to reveal what is going on beneath the surface.

Freud The core of ones personality appears within the first 5-6 years of life and is more or less fixed. For the most part, this core come from ones family.

Our feelings about ourselves come from jealousies, anxieties, and guilt regarding other family members.

6The Unconscious

The Unconscious Part of the mind removed from conscious memory but still with us.

Although we are unaware, the unconscious still affects behavior.

Freud believed our true feelings appear in dreams and mistakes when we are speaking (Freudian slips).

Freud believed everyone has desires they want to hide, so we make them disappear (repression). According to Freud, needs and desires are forbidden cause guilt, so they are repressed into the unconscious.

Freud reached the unconscious through free association, where a person says everything on their mind, even if it seems unconnected.

11The Libido

Freuds theory emphasizes an interaction between conscious and unconscious forces.

Freud believed humans had real (biological, not symbolic) energy inside them that controlled behavior. This energy he called libido.

The libido constantly seeks discharge, and this creates tension. If the tension isnt released in real life, the desires appear as dreams or fantasies.
